Meta announced Monday that in the future, European users will have a choice about whether the group's services are allowed to exchange data with each other. Access to Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Instagram can then be managed independently of each other if desired. This also applies to Meta's video game platform and online marketplace.
These changes are a result of the European Digital Markets Act (DMA). Among other things, it prohibits big tech companies from favoring their own products. Last week, for example, Alphabet Inc's Google announced changes to online search in order to present competing comparison sites more prominently. If the DMA is ignored, companies face penalties of up to ten percent of annual sales.
